From the Publisher:
Sex, Sin, and Saloons come together in Sherry Monahans's deliciously wicked look at the wild and wonderful days of the Old West.

Largely told through the memoirs and eyewitness accounts of he men and women who lived it The Wicked West is an uproarious account of life in the "bad old days." Monahan treats reders to a trip into the past they won't soon forget - a bygone world where drining, smoking, gambling, drugs, and prostitution were the order of the day, every day and on Sundays too!

In this riotous ride through the saloons and bordellos of the frontier, Monahan introduces us not to an array of familiar Western figures but to real saloon keepers, miners, judges, and red-light ladies, whose stories, follies, and foibles are told as only those who lived "the wicked life" can tell them.

 

The men and women who made the West lived hard and played even harder. But they lived life to its fullest - and for all it was worth. In real life the frontier lived up to its reputation for high adventure, danger, and forbidden pleasures. This astonishing look at Western legend reveals a world where anything could happen - and usually did.
